We categorise our courses into Beginner and Advanced levels to ensure every student has the best possible learning experience. This structure keeps the pace fair, focused, and enjoyable for everyone.
Our Beginner courses are open to all, but if you’re interested in any of our Advanced courses, we ask that you already feel fairly confident with the basics of framing. You can build this confidence by completing our Basics of Framing course.
